HC Deb 21 June 1994 vol 245 c148W
16. Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what are the implications of his "Front Line First" policy for(a) 24 Air Mobile Brigade and (b) the Army garrison at Colchester.

17. Mr. Hanley

As we have said previously, we hope to make an announcement about the broad outcome of the "Front Line First" studies before the summer recess.

My hon. Friend will be pleased to know that as part of the additional front-line manpower for the Army announced in December last year we intend to make available an additional battery of 83 men for the 24 Airmobile Brigade Artillery regiment.
